violets point of view

"luke, i don't feel good. i have cramps." i groaned.

"violet, cmon." he said to me.

"i'm just gonna stay home tonight. i'm sorry." i said, grabbing my jacket and saying goodbye and then walking out of his room.

we were going to a party with our friend group and i just dipped out. i was not in the mood for this... i didn't feel good at all.

"wait vy, do you want me to stay home with you?" luke asked, following me into the hall.

"no babe, ayla is also on her period so we'll both just stay at mine." i laughed.

"okay... you sure?" he asked.

"positive. i love you, bye." i smiled, kissing him.

"i love you too..." he responded.

"don't hesitate to come over if you get too wasted." i laughed. "i don't want you here alone."

he nodded and i walked down the hallway.

"hey, violet!" tara smiled to me as i passed her on the stairs.

"hey." i smiled at her.

"are you going out with luke tonight?" she asked me.

"nah. i have cramps so i'm staying home. i think ayla is going to come over though. it's wine night, right?" i laughed.

"it is! you girls should join us." tara told me.

"well, i'll see you in a bit then." i told her.

"hey." jake said when i walked through the kitchen. wow i'm really just running into the whole webber family while i'm here.

"hi." i smiled.

"are you heading home?" he asked me.

"yeah. i don't feel good." i responded.

"i hope you feel better... can you tell your dad that i need help hanging up some weird ass light fixture that tara bought." he laughed.

"yeah of course." i laughed back "see ya later."

currently, all of the moms and ayla and i were sitting on the back deck, drinking wine.

it was nearly two am and i knew luke would be home soon.

i heard my phone start to ring and i noticed it was xander.

"what up?" i asked

"violet? can you come to the door? luke is blacked out... and he kinda did something questionable." he said, hanging up.

oh god... what could he have done?

i got up and went back into the house and to the front door.

i opened it to reveal xander and west trying to help luke walk to the door.

"how much did he drink? also if the questionable thing he did wasn't cheating, don't worry about telling me." i told them.

"he got a tattoo..." xander trailed off.

"oh my god... of what?" i asked, nervous to hear the answer.

"uh.... your name?" west said.

"are you fucking serious? i skip one party and my boyfriend comes back with a tattoo? i can't stand him sometimes..." i asked, aggravated and slightly intoxicated myself.

"someone there had a tattoo gun... he got a V on his wrist. it's not that bad." west explained.

"i'm not mad. but our parents will be. where are kai and grayson?" i asked.

"kai didn't drink so he took the girls home." west informed me.

"i'll deal with luke... thanks guys." i said once they got him to my room.

"no problem. call us if you need anything." west said, hugging me before leaving.

"luke, you're kinda a fucking idiot." i told him.

"butttt i loveeee you." he smiled, blowing me a kiss.

i grinned at him and laid on the bed next to him. he was asleep within minutes and then i was soon to follow.

september 7th

"violet?" i heard grayson pounding at my locked bedroom door.

"what?" i groaned, getting out of bed. my iron deficiency hitting me like a truck.

"rumour has it your dumbass boyfriend got a tattoo." grayson said as i opened the door.

"rumour has it, my dumbass boyfriend did get a tattoo... of my name." i told him.

"you've got to be fucking kidding me. good luck to him." gray told me.

"i know. i don't know what to do." i replied.

"hey guys!" tara and my mom greeted when we got to the bottom of the steps.

"good morning." i grumbled. luke was just wearing a pair of black shorts that he left at my house the last time he was here... and that made his tattoo slightly more noticeable.

i didnt think that anyone was here asides from grayson and cartia... so them being in the kitchen was a surprise.

"do you two have any plans today?" my mom asked us.

"we both have practice and then we're all going to get ice cream." i told her. "do you guys have any plans tonight?" i asked as luke went into the living room and sat on the couch.

"yeah. we're all filming for your dad and sams show... so i expect you and the other older kids to take care of the younger ones tonight." she said, making me groan.

"you guys should all have a big sleep over here. just order a pizza and spend time together." she said.

"okay." i said. i love hanging out with the whole group but i would much rather go to a party with luke, ayla, kai and grayson then stay here with my siblings and all of the younger kids in the group... not that it seemed like they were much younger but none of them were really into the stuff that us older siblings are.

"oh, luke! can you help me hang up this painting? colby and jake went to get us breakfast." my mom asked him

"yeah of course." he smiled, getting off the couch.

she showed him where it went and as he was going to the put the nail in the wall, i heard the dreaded question.

"luke, what's on your arm?" my mom asked him. thank you mom.

"oh ummm... a tattoo?" he said, not wanting to lie to my mom.

"a tattoo? " tara asked walking over to them. "of what?"

"it's just.... a little V." he told them.

"damnit, you are your fathers son." tara groaned. "what does it stand for." she asked, knowing damn well that it was for my name... and it was in violet text.

"violet." he admitted.

"luke." she huffed out. "you should know better. and no offense to you two but what happens if you break up? what happens then? are you going to go through the painful process of getting it removed? why'd you do it luke?"

"mom, i was drunk and someone had a tattoo gun and i missed violet since i'm needy when i'm drunk." he told her.

"wow, you really are your fathers son..." she trailed off with a laugh.
